Stay Connected:. Sebring Raceway is a mecca for sportscar fans the world over, having held its famous 12 Hour race since Built on the runways and connecting roads of a Sebring US Army Air Base, what was once a temporary affair is now a permanent facility used year-round for testing and club racing. The airbase on which it stands was built at the height Sebring World Sebring Two, when the city of Sebring donated land for a new air training school. In Juneconstruction crews moved in and began creating the runways and barracks, with a networks of buildings, roads and sewerage systems that effectively made it a small self-contained city. Shortly before completion, the orders came through that the base was to be expanded to become the first Combat Crew Training School in the United States for heavy bombers, requiring much more robust and enlarged runways. To withstand the pounding of Sebring giant B Flying Fortress bombers, engineers poured multiple slabs of concrete Sebring form the runways, which cris-crossed the site in four directions. Named Hendricks Field in honour of a fallen Sebring instructor, the base spent the rest of the war training hundreds of pilots for B, B and later, B Superfortress flight crews. It was in this guise Sebring Sebring first came to the attention of the racing community. One day insportscar racers Sam Collier and Bob Gegen were flying overhead when they spotted the airfield below and decided to take a closer look. On landing, they asked to see the person in charge. Allen Altvader, who ran the air terminal, said it would be a matter for the city council to decide but took them on a tour of the facility. Evidently impressed by what they had seen, the pair departed to begin preparations, leaving Altvader to talk to the council members to sound them out. At the Watkins Glen road race inCollier and Gegen evidently shared their idea with other racers to sound them out; tragically, Collier was killed at Sebring very race and it seemed that the idea might have died with him. The former president of the Dowty Equipment Corporation, which manufactured landing gear for military aircraft, Ulmann was also keen on starting a new business refitting war-surplus aircraft for civilian uses. On a trip to seek out a base for his adventure, he decided to check out Sebring to see Sebring himself whether Collier and Gegen had been onto something. Convinced it could work, he ploughed Sebring what money he Sebring into organising the first race, held on Sebring Year's Eve, Around 30 cars from Sebring the country turned out to contest the Sam Collier Six Hours Memorial, run to a complicated equivalence formula which ensured that the handful of local spectators could have no clue who was winning! Sebring remarkably, it was won by the team of Ralph Deshon and Fritz Koster, who had borrowed a spectator's tiny and otherwise unsporting Crosley Hot Shot to participate in Sebring event. The first course was very primitive — essentially marked out with hay bales and featuring a pit area that was little more than lashed together trestle Sebring — but the event had Sebring enough of a success to be repeated 14 months later in what would become its now traditional early season date. This was to become the classic Sebring layout and was a true test of Sebring. The bumpy concrete sections took their tolls Sebring the cars, while Sebring night time running on the maze of roads often Sebring tricks on the drivers — many would become disoriented and lose time navigating their way back onto the proper Sebring. In the end, the bumpy concrete proved a poor match for the sophisticated single seaters and the event failed to cover its own costs — indeed, Charles Moran and Briggs Cunningham stepped up to pay the prize monies out of their own pockets when the promoter's cheques bounced. After a further one-off race at Riverside, F1 found a happier home at Watkins Glen. Bythe 12 Hours was well-established and became Sebring battleground between Ford and Ferrari, in preparation for Le Sebring. That year's race was Sebring prove Sebring's grimmest hour, however, thanks to a string of fatalities which exposed Sebring inadequacy of safety facilities. First Canadian Bob McLean was killed when his Ford GT40 suffered mechanical trouble sending it careering into a telegraph pole, whereupon Sebring burst into flames with the hapless McLean trapped inside. Further tragedy was Sebring strike with two hours to go, when Mario Andretti's Ferrari slowed with gearbox trouble, only to be clipped Sebring Don Wester's Porsche, sending Wester Sebring into a group of spectators who were stood in a restricted zone and then into the side of a warehouse. Four spectators, including a Sebring boy, were Sebring and Wester suffered multiple injuries. Ulmann and the organisers came under fierce criticism in the aftermath, with threats of lawsuits and potential boycotts mooted. Serious plans soon emerged Sebring move the race to the then- new Palm Beach International Raceway. In addition 80 covered pits would be built for the Sebring plus bleachers for the spectators, private parking, a scenic lake and spectator access roads. Mother Nature had other ideas, however. The Palm Beach area suffered through two months of unprecedented rains, delaying the start of any construction work. Finally in November, Palm Beach officials announced they were abandoning the year contract to hold the race because the Sebring and high Sebring table prevented them from getting the track ready in time. Hurriedly, Sebring had to be readied for racing once again. Concessions to safety were made, Sebring the moving of the warehouse straight onto a Sebring road to keep the cars further away from buildings. They then eliminated the old Webster corner and replaced it with the Green Park Chicane, while Sebring belting that was designed to catch Navy planes that might overshoot a carrier landing or a short runway was Sebring along Sebring new Warehouse Straight. The track's insurers also insisted spectators must be kept at least feet from the track rather than the previous 75 feet, while chain link fencing and Armco barriers were also introduced. Despite the upgrades, Sebring was still a primitive place, with few of the amenities to be found at permanent venues. This didn't Sebring to put off the crowds, who would pile into Green Park to camp, party and watch the race, sometimes almost as an afterthought. The atmosphere was fairly Sebring and in many cases not for the faint-of-heart. There were no further significant track changes untilSebring the first of several course changes marked a push to reduce the circuit's impact on the operations of the airport, which was seeing increasing flight traffic. In tandem came a general upgrade of paddock facilities, which saw the relocation of the backstretch in Sebring now named the Sebring straight Sebring to create more room. Further revisions inand Sebring ultimately mean the circuit would become a permanent venue, separate from both the airport and adjoining Sebring park, allowing the track to operate independently and Sebring interruption. The Sebring underwent ownership changes in the s. Many teams also continue to use Sebring for winter testing due to the warm climate. The start and finish remained in its traditional place, however. Sebring Regional Airport is next to the raceway but there are no regularly scheduled passenger services.
